When do you think, in time, we will have the technology to create and run an earth sized open world game where we can play at a decent frame rate with millions of other players and npc's ?
Gaaawd, imagine the possibilities.
Dump your ideas and what you would do etc..
We already do have the tech, it's the cost that matters.
>>334255587
If it weren't for consoles we'd have this already
>>334255725
Well then, when will that tech be affordable ?
>>334255587
Also, I forgot to mention that graphics have to be decent.
>>334255790
if it weren't for consoles there would be about 500 million fewer gamers. that's a lot of lost money.
Buuump!
I thought I was going to get more replies.
Bump
Make it text based.
>>334255587
This Game already exists, its called: Life.
The reason why we won't ever see a game like that is because it takes incredible long time to build it. At the end it more people are going to play the much easier to produce Call of Duty.
>>334259118
No one plays MUDs anymore.
>>334258921
You can keep bumping me like that.
The concept is interesting but I can't help to think it'd be a bigger WoW.
That's a fucking retarded idea.
Something using Google Maps to generate the game world procedurally using satellite and street view.
I'd be fine with graphics on a basic level such as GTA: San Andreas to start.
It would take five lifetimes and half the entire world's economy budget to make that game.
And then you'd play it and realize it's boring as fuck.
I'd gather me and my friends and meme people by trying to destroy and steal from others for as long as possible until we get defeated
>>334255587
just live your life, nerd.
>>334259546
It could start like that, yes.
>>334259546
And somehing like futuristic picture to 3d model softwares to create interiors and stuff
Earth would be too big compared to the number of estimated players.

Sweet
Why not just go out and live real life?
>>334263952
Because in real life I can't get away with flying a commercial airplane around the globe into a Tibetan monastery, then proceed to massacre an entire nomadic tribe armed only with a 3ft long dragon dildo.
>>334265553
>implying you would in game
you'll get banned
>>334265654
Because it would be politically incorrect ?
>>334265982
Griefing is a bannable offence
>>334265982
What makes you think killing anyone is an okay thing to do?
>>334266012
well fuck your shit then il just make my own private server that will be more popular then the original
>>334266228
you can't make private servers retard
the closest thing you can get is buying a home really far away from any major city and making a family there
>>334266012
It's ethnic cleansing, not griefing.
Also who the fuck is gonna play as a Tibetan monk or nomadic gook ? They'll all be NPC's
>create perfect 1:1 earth simulation
Who is to say that we aren't the simulation?
>>334266189
Dude, people have been killing people forever.
>get summoned
>no enemy animations, everybody glides
Or
>get summoned
>nobody around, message about phantoms leaving, and invader leaving
>disconnected
About 1 in 4 summons I don't have to suffer.
no man's sky but good
>>334266331
>not wanting to be a tibetian monk and chill on top of the mountains overlooking pure white peaks
lmao look at this shitter
>>334266510
Often thought about that. In fact it is not that unrealistic that we could create an virtual universe in some hundret years that is similar to our universe.
Why not just go outside at this point
and then we put /pol/ as the world governants
I'd only play it for social experiments desu ne
>>334267692
This
>>334266772
Gay as fuck unless the graphics are comparable to real life.
>>334265654
>>334266012
>>334266228
Actually having a player run police force and player run organizations like the FBI, CIA etc instead of letting admins deal with griefing would be pretty neat.
